My New OpenHASP Display

Post image

This thing took an unreasonable amount of effort to set up (for me at least). So I just wanted to show it off. Waveshare esp32-s3 7 inch touchscreen. It's an unholy combination of openhasp, yaml, node red, and some ha addons to get looking the way I wanted. Yes the wallpaper is currently AI, but it was the quickest way for me to test out having it change for different weather, as well as day/night, and holiday images (same house but snowy, halloweeny, etc). It also required Visual Studio to get it flashed, and a wire soldered to a pretty tiny pin on the back to control screen brightness.

OpenHASP is so underrated, it's so useful.

Your panel looks very nice.

It really is. It took a minute to wrap my head around it, but it's super versatile

Looks pretty nice.

3d printed case I assume?

Yep! Found on printables. Made a super basic stand to have it up and tilted a bit.

What is the advantage of this over a small tablet running fullykiosk and showing a full HA dashboard?

In my experience the cheaper tablets cant match this in terms of responsiveness. This will also remain supported indefinitely as far as I know. Compared to something like a super old android version or an og iPad. No battery to worry about either.

Theres also a lot of other screens you can set up this way, some much smaller.

I've also seen the smaller ones used in place of light switches or thermostats. I assume that if you wanted to set up a few of these it would be especially ideal, since you could just copy-paste the code and you're up and running.
